Come and see through the mist at an upcoming presentation about Nora Jewell, born on <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/San_Juan_Island\" target=\"_blank\">San Juan Island<\/a> around 1864, and one of the first mixed-race women to seek justice within <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Washington_(U.S._state)\" target=\"_blank\">Washington\u2019s<\/a> territorial legal system.

Touching on the practice and problems of M\u00e9tis history, this presentation makes more visible the presence of indigenous and mixed-race families in San Juan\u2019s past and present. Island locals will no doubt recognize family members and old friends in Nora Jewell\u2019s history, while visitors will enjoy learning more about the rich history of cultural diversity on San Juan Island and the nearby mainland.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/history.unl.edu\/facultystaff\/profile.asp?ID=217\" target=\"_blank\">Dr. Katrina Jagodinsky<\/a> is assistant professor of history at University of Nebraska-Lincoln and is writing a comparative history of Native women\u2019s use of the American legal system in Washington and Arizona between 1854 and 1935.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Family Jewell: A Metis History of San Juan Island and Puget Sound, by Dr. Katrina Jagodinsky San Juan Historical Museum 323 Price St. Friday Harbor, Washington Saturday, 2012-06-30, 18:00 PDT (Local Time) The history of M\u00e9tis families (Native American and European ancestry) is like the mist that shrouds the San Juan Island chain: a [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[459,13,8,3015,20,25],"tags":[11133,11132,11131,11134,2685],"class_list":["post-24035","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-history","category-liveevents","category-media-archive","category-native-americans","category-usa","category-women","tag-katrina-jagodinsky","tag-nora-jewell","tag-san-juan-historical-museum","tag-san-juan-island","tag-washington"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24035","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=24035"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24035\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=24035"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=24035"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=24035"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
